An Overview of Mediathread
Once collected into Mediathread, selections of multimedia items can be created, tagged, and incorporated into compositions and discussions.
Built to support a range of classes, Mediathread enables instructors to create innovative assignments, track responses, and supply linked feedback. Instructors can ask students to:
- Make selections of a designated item, and tag and annotate these selections
- Author compositions that cite and integrate multimedia selections
- Participate in threaded discussions that cite and integrate multimedia selections
- Juxtapose and create interactive sequences of multimedia selections
Mediathread’s tagging and searching support also facilitates individual or group research across media formats. Controlled vocabularies can be defined and applied to a corpus of source materials.
When participating in class discussions or creating individual or group projects, Mediathread users are able to view video and/or images closely, clip video segments or images, attach annotations and tags to their selections, and organize clips for assignments that integrate written analysis with targeted selections of images and video. By facilitating the easy creation, organization, and incorporation of clips into written analysis, Mediathread significantly advances the role of multimedia in scholarly analysis.
